With the rates of substance use disorder and overdose on the rise, anesthesia professionals may encounter more patients with active substance use disorder, on medication-assisted treatment or in abstinent recovery who require surgery and procedures that involve analgesia and anesthesia. Anesthesia providers may not know how to provide safe care to a patient with substance use disorder.

Learning Outcome(s):

1. Develop a plan of care in collaboration with the patient and the interdisciplinary healthcare team. 
2. Deploy an opioid-sparing multimodal approach to managing pain. 
3. Understand safe prescribing practices and discharge planning to provide patient-centered approach to care.
